Made an update to the original post with my progress (aka, a slight delay).
I do encourage everyone to take advantage of the feature suggestion widget I left on
http://kombatathomebeta.com
I am delaying a launch till later in April as opposed to mid-April, but since I plan to develop this continually after launch, those additional feature suggestions will not go to waste.
For those unclear on the nature of suggestions I'm looking for, I left a helper question:
'What do I want in a multiplayer matchmaking system for Mortal Kombat X, that goes above and beyond what is normally offered?'
